Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation Overview

Updated:Apr 7,2014

When a patient's life hangs by a thread,

the power to save it may hang by a guideline.

Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation has its roots in the American Heart Association's National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (NRCPR), started in 1999 to collect resuscitation data from hospitals nationwide and create evidence-based guidelines for inpatient CPR.

In 2010, the program was incorporated into Get With The Guidelines and enhanced to provide additional resources, tools and benefits, including:

identification of improvement opportunities

performance comparison with hospitals

reduction of noncompliance and medical errors through data-driven peer review

Data collection and feedback reporting are performed using the American Heart Association’s Patient Management Tool™ (PMT), an online, interactive system provided by Quintiles Real World & Late Phase Research. Download the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation fact sheets for more information.
